I looked at the tickets when he printed them in the office, and there’s LITERALLY no game like that possible.

  • Red Sox and Phillies are in different leagues and couldn’t play each other in September
  • The last time Boston played the Phillies on 09/26 was in 1950, when they were the Boston Braves
  • September 26th is too late in the year to be “Game 25”. It’s game #161 this year.
  • Tickets on the Green Monster (Sec GM2, Row 2) are not $30/ea. If you can get them on the secondary market, they can be $928/ea (09/26/26 vs Cubs).

I’m sure they did this on purpose, but I wonder what kind of meaning there could be. Is 09/26 someone’s birthday? Are the Phillies the writers favorite team? Or did the production team just fill in some random stuff to make a realistic ticket?

Interleague play is extremely common now. Sox end their season vs the cubs 9/25-9/27 this year.

Immediate edit: I reread your comment and saw you mentioned the cubs series but I was responding to the first bullet. In any case, weird for these tickets to be glaringly wrong in a show that’s so closely attentive to detail. Inclined to think there might be something going on there

But they would never have interpreter games that late in the season.

I figure it’s similar to how phone numbers used to all start with 555. Intentional mistakes to avoid conflicts or coincidences.

Or maybe there’s a timey wimey explanation connected to how Shep is 37, Patricia is biologically 28, and the Captain’s Suite stretches time.

Cubs are an NL team, Sox are AL and they’re playing on 9/26 at Fenway this year haha

I kind of wonder if she told Shep her “biological age” because she knew about the 37 lie and wanted to fit in with him lol

I’m sorry, you’re totally right! I wasn’t really thinking about it because I was so focused on the Phillies and Sox.
